Hitchens On Blair: Right On The Things That Matter

Christopher Hitchens makes the case for Tony Blair in much the same way as I would (though, of course, with far greater erudition); we can quibble about certain points, but on the big, foreign-policy questions, he has nearly always been right. I would make the same case for Bush being a great president; his approval ratings stink, and he's made a lot of domestic policy mistakes, particularly in term two, but he's been right where he should be in the realm of foreign affairs.
